Turning their attention back to Premier League duties following on from their iconic FA Cup success, Crystal Palace will welcome Wolves to Selhurst Park on Tuesday night.
Crystal Palace
Starting with the hosts, clinching a maiden FA Cup crown on Saturday afternoon thanks to a famous 1-0 victory against Manchester City at Wembley, Crystal Palace are enjoying what has become a famous fairytale. Making their return to Selhurst Park on Tuesday night with a real party atmosphere in their camp, Oliver Glasner’s side are desperate to keep up their iconic charge here. Likewise, last seen in Premier League action securing a deserved 2-0 win away at Tottenham, the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits. Unbeaten in all of their previous six appearances across all competitions, the Eagles will also be excited by their rugged defensive steel. In fact, Crystal Palace have shipped just a single goal in over 400 minutes of action.

Bagging that famous FA Cup winner at Wembley on Saturday afternoon and now finding the net in all of his previous five appearances, England international Eberechi Eze will play a leading role in south London. Former Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah could be handed the chance to lead the line and replace Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Both still dealing with respective knee injuries, Crystal Palace will once again be without the duo of Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure here. Making a January loan switch from Chelsea, Ben Chilwell could get some more minutes under his belt.
Wolves
As for the visitors, while Vitor Pereira might have only arrived at the Midlands over the festive period, Wolves have skyrocketed themselves away from a looming relegation scrap. However, suffering consecutive Premier League defeats since opening May, the Portuguese tactician is calling on a recent boost. Facing what will certainly be a stern examination when they travel to Selhurst Park in midweek, Tuesday’s guests should also be concerned by a downbeat record against the newly-crowned FA Cup champions. Despite playing out a thrilling 2-2 stalemate when they welcomed Crystal Palace to Molineux back on November 2nd, that is the only point that they have registered from their previous three Premier League meetings. It should also be noted, Wolves have lost their last four consecutive trips to south London by an aggregate score of 8-3.
Wolves Team News
All still dealing with respective long-term injury issues, Wolves will once again be without the likes of Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic and Enso Gonzalez here. However, despite missing out against Manchester City earlier in the month, Jorgen Strand Larsen could be handed a full recall.
Notching 15 Premier League strikes this season and expected to leave Molineux at the end of the season, attacking talisman Matheus Cunha will spearhead Wolves’ charge. Making his top-flight debut as a late substitute against Brighton last weekend, 17-year-old Matheus Mane could get some more minutes.
Key Factors to Consider
- When Crystal Palace and Wolves met for their reverse Premier League meeting on November 2nd, Tuesday’s opponents played out a 2-2 stalemate in the Midlands.
- The newly-crowned FA Cup winners have registered seven points from their previous three Premier League meetings against Wolves.
- Crystal Palace have won all of their last four consecutive home fixtures against Wolves by an aggregate score of 8-3.
- Wolves have suffered consecutive Premier League defeats for the first time since the end of January.
- The Eagles have conceded just a single goal in over 400 minutes of action.
Conclusion
Clinching a maiden FA Cup crown at Wembley on Saturday afternoon following that iconic 1-0 victory against Manchester City at Wembley, Crystal Palace will receive a hero’s return to south London here. While a top-half finish might still be unrealistic, Tuesday’s hosts will be confident of extending on their fairytale. Winning all of their previous four Premier League showdowns against Wolves at Selhurst Park by an aggregate score of 8-3, a home draw no bet can be found at appealing odds.
